Afcon 2019: Furman rues Bafana Bafana's first half display against Nigeria

The SuperSport United player has stated South Africa passed the ball too slowly in the first half

South African midfielder Dean Furman was surprised by the late goal as Bafana Bafana were defeated by Nigeria on Wednesday night.

Bafana crashed out of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals after losing 2-1 to the Super Eagles at Cairo International Stadium in Egypt.

Goals from Samuel Chukwueze and William Troost-Ekong handed Nigeria the victory over the 1996 Afcon winners.

Furman felt that they only played well in the second half after struggling in the first stanza.
